Catching Up on the Weekend: Injury News, Wrigley News, Batting Practice Video, More

We had an unusually fertile weekend for news and Cubs-related stuff, so I wanted to offer a quick round-up for those of you who are weekday-only BN’ers, and who may have missed all the stuff that appeared here over the weekend.

Tom Ricketts addressed the media about, among other things, the status of Wrigley Field renovation talks with the City, and his expectations for what will be new/different during the 2013 season.

Matt Garza strained his left lat muscle (mildly), and had to cut his live batting practice session short. It was the first time he’d thrown to live batters since last July, when his 2012 season ended thanks to a stress reaction in his elbow. The good news is that Garza says his elbow feels great, and he doesn’t expect this to be a serious issue.
